With a little lady who swims every week and has highly unmanageable hair, we are constantly seeking easy to use shampoo. This has been heavily advertised, so ever the sucker for the power of advertising, I bought a bottle to see how it went, and was suitably impressed, although Liking as I do the Johnsons products, I was ready to be happy with it.
~~Product and Packaging~~
The product ... ...of the no more tears Johnsons products, so all good things, because should any shampoo sting her eyes, I soon know about it! The shampoo itself is supposed to detangle and condition, because it contains special ingredients (no surprises there) and apparently, her hair will be easy to comb and soft and smooth. This I must see…
Pull up the lid, tip the bottle and out comes some peachy coloured shampoo. We have had a good sniff of it, ... more
Johnsons Junior Shampoo
With a little lady who swims every week and has highly unmanageable hair, we are constantly seeking easy to use shampoo. This has been heavily advertised, so ever the sucker for the power of advertising, I bought a bottle to see how it went, and was suitably impressed, although Liking as I do the Johnsons products, I was ready to be happy with it.
~~Product and Packaging~~
The product comes in a rather snazzy 250ml yellow bottle with somw little creature on the front washing his hair in a mass of suds- sure to appeal to children.
The lid is one of those pull up to open, push down to close lids, so very easy to use in the shower.
It tells me that it is one of the no more tears Johnsons products, so all good things, because should any shampoo sting her eyes, I soon know about it! The shampoo itself is supposed to detangle and condition, because it contains special ingredients (no surprises there) and apparently, her hair will be easy to comb and soft and smooth. This I must see…
Pull up the lid, tip the bottle and out comes some peachy coloured shampoo. We have had a good sniff of it, and between us, Little Miss and I don't know exactly what it smells of, merely that it smells "fruity"
~~Using it~~
Really easy, as shampoo for children should be. Pour a small amount onto your hand and massage into the head, making sure all the bubbles are rinsed away.
I do impress a small amount, because a little bit really does go a long way, and makes a very satisfying amount of bubbles. Fine for adults but for children in the shower post swimming, it can be a bit of a nightmare. I usually put only the required amount into her hand because the first time we used it, we were on for ages trying to get her hair rinsed.
~~Who is it for?~~
The shampoo is marketed for children, and the picture on the bottle suggests it is for young children. However, I don't think there is any reason why adults shouldn't use it. It is, after all, a nice gentle shampoo.
~~Price and Availability~~
Widely available from chemists and supermarkets, this cost me £1.78 from Boots.
~~Other Bits of information…~~
I have also seen an Easy Rinse shampoo, so this could put a stop to the aforesaid problems!
Made by Johnson and Johnson
~~What we Think of it~~
It was bound to be a hit. Very rarely does Little Miss ever ask for a specific shampoo; this, however, was carefully marketed. Each time we switched on Nick Jnr, we had this on the screen (or so it seemed) along with a very catchy shampoo song. Being a teacher, I did notice that lots of children were singing what they called the shampoo song. Oh the powers of marketing and a clever little song.
From my point of view, I do like the product. I have used Johnson products on the children for years, and so was happy to buy something which I was certain I could trust.
The shampoo is easy to use and comes in an appealing bottle- just right for carrying to the showers. It has a nice but not overpowering fruity smell and produces lots of bubbles (an essential for children). It does leave her hair soft and very clean, and seems indeed to contain conditioners as promised. As far as easy comb is concerned, I can't say that it suddenly made her hair a detangled zone, and we did still use detangler, because I always feel a tad cruel pulling at her hair. However, as with other Johnsons no more tears products, there was absolutely no screeching when it got into her eyes.
For a handy, reasonably priced shampoo which will appeal to children and do the job for mum, I would recommend this one. And yes, your little one will probably sing as they wash!
Advantages: The no tears formula makes life a little easier. Disadvantages: None
I used Johnson's products when my children were young and now I am watching my daughter use some of the very same products for my grandchildren. The smell of Johnson's baby powder is unforgettable, smell that talcum powder and you instinctively think of babies and I still buy the odd Johnson's baby powder to use myself.
Any Mum will tell you that bath times can be a nightmare, the children either take to the water like ducks to a pond or they are ... ...try and coax them into the warm bath but when it comes to hair wash time that is another story completely.
At the moment one of my grandchildren is going through that difficult stage, he doesn't mind getting into the bath but mention washing his hair and he screams the place down.
We have tried distracting him using toys, singing nursery rhymes, you name it we have tried it but more often than not we have to resort to using a firm hand.
